Background and Context

The v3.2.0 milestone requires that users can manage invariants via CLI (agents invariant add/list/remove). Invariants are user-defined constraints that must be respected during plan execution. Without invariant management commands, users cannot define or inspect the constraints that guard their plans.

Current Behavior

agents invariant add, agents invariant list, and agents invariant remove commands are not implemented or are incomplete.

Expected Behavior

agents invariant add <constraint> creates a new invariant for the current plan. agents invariant list displays all invariants for the current plan. agents invariant remove <id> removes the specified invariant.

Acceptance Criteria

  • agents invariant add <constraint> creates invariant with correct persistence
  • agents invariant list displays all invariants for the current plan
  • agents invariant remove <id> removes the specified invariant
  • Invariants persist across CLI invocations
  • Invariant add validates constraint syntax
  • Test coverage >= 97% for invariant management commands

Metadata

  • Commit message: feat: implement agents invariant add list remove commands
  • Branch name: feat/agents-invariant-add-list-remove-commands

Subtasks

  • Implement agents invariant add command with validation
  • Implement agents invariant list command with formatting
  • Implement agents invariant remove command with confirmation
  • Ensure invariants persist to database
  • Write integration tests for all invariant commands
  • Write unit tests for invariant validation

Definition of Done

All three invariant management commands work correctly, invariants persist to database, and test coverage >= 97%.

Verified — The v3.2.0 acceptance criterion explicitly requires: 'agents invariant add creates invariants; agents invariant list displays them.' This is a direct implementation of that criterion. Must Have for v3.2.0. Verified.

Implementation Attempt — Success

Implemented the invariant management CLI commands in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/invariant.py:

  • agents invariant add <constraint> with scope flags (--global, --project, --plan, --action), constraint validation, and prompt sanitization
  • agents invariant list with scope filtering, regex text matching, effective-set merging, and multiple output formats (rich, json, yaml, plain, table)
  • agents invariant remove <id> soft-delete with --yes confirmation bypass
